LINUX Splits the permission settings into 3 groups

  • Owner - The user who owns the file
  • Group - Set of users
  • World - Not owner and not part of Group
Following permission can be granted:
  • Read
  • Write
  • Execute
You can use chmod command to set the permissions for each group (Owner/User/World) by applying desired (Read/Write/Execute) tags to each one of them. The digits which are used to set the permissions are actually the decimal representation of the binary (0/1) flags which set per group. For example, you want to set permissions which will allow the following:
  • Owner - read, write and execute
  • Group - read and execute (but not write)
  • World - no permissions
So in that case for Owner we will have: read=1, write=1 and execute=1 resulting in permission: 
111 -> 7
The Group will have: read=1, write=0 and execute=1 resulting in permission:
101 -> 5
And finally the World will have: read=0, write=0 and execute=0 resulting in permission:
000 -> 0
Additionally, you can set a what is called the sticky bit to a directory. It will prevent other users from deleting or renaming the files within that directory. Only the owner can delete or rename the files within that directory. So in your case, the correct chmod command will look like this:
chmod 1777 temp
Where 777 allows read/write/execute for all three groups and the additional 1 is the sticky bit.

Java : Variables Declaring

[1]. Java Variables Variables are containers for storing data values. In Java, there are different types of variables, for example: String - stores text, such as "Hello". String values are surrounded by double quotes int - stores integers (whole numbers), without decimals, such as 123 or -123 float - stores floating point numbers, with decimals, such as 19.99 or -19.99 char - stores single characters, such as 'a' or 'B'. Char values are surrounded by single quotes boolean - stores values with two states: true or false [2]. Declaring (Creating) Variables To create a variable, you must specify the type and assign it a value: Syntax type variable = value ; Where type is one of Java's types (such as int or String), and variable is the name of the variable (such as x or name). The equal sign is used to assign values to the variable. To create a variable that should store text, look at the following example: Example Create a variable called  name  of type  Stri...

PostgreSQL - String Function

PostgreSQL string functions are used primarily for string manipulation. The following table details the important string functions − ASCII(str) Returns the numeric value of the leftmost character of the string str. Returns 0 if str is an empty string. Returns NULL if str is NULL. ASCII() works for characters with numeric values from 0 to 255. testdb=# SELECT ASCII('2'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | ASCII('2') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 50 | +---------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) testdb=# SELECT ASCII('dx'); +---------------------------------------------------------+ | ASCII('dx') | +---------------------------------------------------------+ | 100 | ...
